Favorite WordPress Themes for Agencies & Consultants

March 10, 2017 By ShivarWeb Staff

Themes are one of the “killer” features of using WordPress to power your website. Unlike drag and drop website builders, you start with a defined, beautiful template with built-in features. While some themes come with feature over-kill (or a blank slate), there is a whole universe of themes customized for every type of business imaginable.

In fact, there are hundreds and hundreds of “off-the-shelf” WordPress themes for agencies & consultants that have stunning design and amazing functionality like beautiful galleries and portfolios to display your services and products, pricing tables, social media integration, contact forms and more.

And, even better, WordPress themes are (supposed to be) open-source & GPL licensed so you gain access to a wide community of resources and help. Some require a learning curve, and some are super-simple, but all have the versatility for an agency or consultant that wants an active online presence (while also focusing on clients rather than custom web design).

Here are our Best WordPress Themes for Agencies and Consultants (+2 frameworks) curated from marketplaces and theme sellers around the Internet.
